Club America will invite Queretaro to Estadio de la Ciudad de los Deportes in the Liga MX Apertura on Friday. Both teams suffered 2-1 losses in their campaign opener last week and will look to bounce back with a win in this match.
The hosts, reigning Apertura and Supercopa MX winners, fell to a shock 2-1 loss to Atletico San Luis last week. Henry Martín scored in the fifth minute to give them an early lead but Mateo Klimowicz's brace helped Atletico San Luis register a comeback 2-1 home win. Javairô Dilrosun was booked in the first half and was subbed off early in the second half.
The visitors met Club Tijuana in their campaign opener and suffered a narrow defeat. Samuel Sosa equalized in the 62nd minute, but Domingo Felipe Blanco scored just six minutes later to restore Tijuana's lead.

Club America vs Queretaro Prediction
Águilas suffered a 2-1 loss in their campaign opener and will look to bounce back with a win in their first home game of the season. They are unbeaten in their last 11 home games in Liga MX, recording eight wins, and are strong favorites.
Los Gallos Blancos' 2-1 loss in their campaign opener was their fourth loss in five league games. They are winless in their last seven away meetings against the capital club, failing to score in the last two, which is a cause for concern.
Considering the home advantage for the reigning champions and the visitors' poor away record in this fixture, America are expected to eke out a narrow win.
